Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Referts 2023 - Faiveley

The Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Referts 2023 from Domaine Faiveley is a Burgundy white wine from one of the most renowned climats in the Puligny-Montrachet appellation, in the heart of the Côte de Beaune. Made from 100% Chardonnay, this Burgundy Premier Cru accurately expresses the mineral tension and elegance characteristic of the Referts terroir, located in the immediate vicinity of Meursault. The 2023 vintage, marked by beautiful maturity and preserved freshness, gives rise to a balanced and luminous wine.

The nose reveals aromas of white and yellow fruits, fresh pear and apple, accompanied by notes of white flowers, citrus fruits and a subtle hint of butter and hazelnut. On the palate, the wine is straightforward, precise and slender, with a beautiful mineral energy that structures the body and prolongs the finish. The texture is silky, the finish long and salty, faithful to the elegant and controlled style of Maison Faiveley.

This Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Referts 2023 is best served at around 12–13°C, after a little aeration. It pairs perfectly with grilled fish or fish in a light sauce, scallops, roast poultry or soft cheeses. Already very expressive in its youth, it also has an ageing potential of 10 to 15 years, during which time it will gain in complexity and aromatic depth.

An elegant and distinguished Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru that will appeal to lovers of great Burgundy Chardonnays looking for precision, freshness and finesse.
